Database and Expert Systems Applications

The DEXA‘18 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program to be held on August 26 - 29, 2019 in parallel to the main technical program of the DEXA conferences. The main goal of the DEXA’19 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate an active exchange, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas about specific (both theoretical and applicative) topics in the general area of Information Science.

Workshops should be organized to facilitate informal discussion and active engagement among attendees. Members from all areas of the Information Science community are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops on new emerging topics or specific relevant aspects of broader topics are particularly encouraged. Workshops can vary in length, but most will be one full day in duration. Workshop organizers and attendees must register for their workshop and are permitted to join the main DEXA conference.
